Neil Armstrong: 1930-2012

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon during the 1969 Apollo
11 mission, has died, following complications resulting from
cardiovascular procedures. He was 82.

Armstrong's words "That is one small step for (a) man, one giant leap
for mankind," spoken on July 20, 1969, as he became the first person
ever to step onto another planetary body, instantly became a part of
history.
